Forum: sflan Subject: DHCP Server Possibly Down?


Is the DHCP server down? I was connected to SF Lan fine last week, but since Sunday morning I haven't been able to get an IP address. Could someone check the DHCP server please? I notice woody is back up and the status of all nodes is listed as "pending". Thank you.

I restarted the DHCP server. It failed due to a tunnelling change.

The monitoring is affected by the tunnelling change as well, so that'll take some time to sort out.

Thanks for restarting the DHCP server, but even with the restart, I still haven't been able to get an IP address since last week Sunday (2/11) when the network seemed to go down. Is it possible that the tunneling issue you speak of could prevent clients of the nodes from reaching the DHCP server? Thanks.

Even though my client can associate with sflan11 with 40% signal strength, I still haven't been able to get an IP via DHCP since Sunday, 2/11 when the whole network went down for a few hours.

So yesterday I climbed Mt Olympus, home of the gods and supposedly sflan11. Using my notebook with a wifi adapter and an external antenna, the signal strength to sflan11 was 50% and connection quality was reported as 100%. I could associate with sflan11, but still no IP. I could also see sflan13, with signal strength of 15-35% and connection quality reported at 100%. I WAS able to get an IP from sflan13. Based on the IP it looks like that node is running a NAT.

It seems like there's a problem with sflan11. Any chance this could be looked at? Or is there something else I can try? Unfortunately sflan13 isn't in range from my home and the top of Mt. Olympus can be a really cold place to work at night. :-) Thanks.
